I understand that it could be possible to coax amazing power from a 4 banger - but it will still be a four banger.
Unfortunately the only car that uses the 2.4L VVT ECOTEC that also uses a 6-cyl engine is the G6. Which does use the new 3900 which makes good power, ~240HP. However that car is FWD so it might take a good bit of research and work to create the parts necisary to make what's needed to swing that engine around into a N-S position instead of E-W.
